paper  boxes,  so  that  In  setting  them  out  on  the  first 
of  June,  their  growth  was  not  at  all  checked.  I  planted 
hem  four  feet  apart,  and,  just  as  I  do  now  after  years 
of  experience,  I  tied  the  leading  branch  of  each  toma¬ 
to  vine  to  a  stake,  as  It  grew,  and  pruned  all  super¬ 
fluous  branches,  so  that  the  strength  of  the  plant  was 
diverted  towards  the  formation  of  fruit  buds,  and  in 
this  way  I  got  earlier  and  liner  fruit. 
The  celery  was  transplanted  outside,  first,  four 
inches  apart,  then,  about  July  1,  it  was  set  in  the 
trenches  which  I  made  eight  inches  deep.  I  put  in 
two  inches  of  old  manure,  which  I  covered  two 
inches  deep  with  fine  soil  and  then  set  the  plants 
seven  inches  apart.  The  following  fall  I  plowed  a 
little  deeper  than  before,  put  on  a  good  lot  of  man¬ 
ure,  and  also  got  some  small  and  tree  fruits,  which 
were  heeled  In  until  spring.  During  the  winter  I 
started  a  compost  heap  in  an  out-of-the-way  corner, 
and  this  was  my  bank  in  which  I  deposited  every¬ 
thing  that  was  likely  to  make  manure. 
I  built  a  tight  board  fence  six  feet  high  on  the 
north  side,  and  this  enabled  me  to  raise  tomatoes  still 
earlier.  X  now  arranged  the  garden  so  that  I  had 
three  walks  along  its  whole  length,  with  two  others  in¬ 
tersecting  them,  but  I  had  no  beds.  Between  the 
fruit  trees  I  manured  and  cultivated,  and  sowed  car¬ 
rots,  beets,  peas,  beans  and  celery  in  addition  to  corn 
and  potatoes.  Soon  we  could  not  use  all  I  raised, 
and,  as  soon  as  the  neighbors  found  that  they  could 
get  fresh  vegetables  from  me,  I  had  no  difflcultv  in 
disposing  of  all  I  had  to  spare;  in  fact,  I  even  sup¬ 
plied  some  of  the  vegetable  peddlers  when  they  want¬ 
ed  something  extra  nice  for  a  good  customer,  and  by 
this  time  my  garden  paid  expenses. 
Next  I  put  in  a  stone  drain  the  length  of  the  garden, 
at  a  cost  of  $25,  using  about  five  rods  of  stone,  which 
made  the  ground  higher  and  enabled  me  to  plant  two 
weeks  earlier,  because  it  dried  oft  so  much  quicker.  I 
now  grew  more  tomatoes,  as  I  found  that  I  could  raise 
and  sell  a  good  many  at  25  to  30  cents  per  dozen  before 
my  neighbors  had  any.  Celery  was  profitable,  as  it 
was  grown  as  a  second  crop.  I  increased  my  plant¬ 
ings  of  small  fruits,  especially  of  strawberries,  which 
returned  a  profit,  my  plan  being  to  see  how  much 
could  be  realized  from  a  small  piece  of  ground  in  the 
best  possible  condition.  In  carrying  out  this  intention 
I  would  sow  between  my  strawberry  plants — which 
were  in  rows  3j^  feet  apart,  15  inches  in  the  row — any 
or  all  of  the  following  vegetables:  Lettuce,  radish, 
early  carrots,  peas,  early  cauliflower  and  shallots;  or 
prick  out  celery  plants.  Tomatoes,  live  feet  apart, 
and  trained  as  above,  can  also  go  in,  as  they  will  not 
make  much  shade.  But,  with  the  double  cropping  I 
never  neglected  the  manuring,  as  on  that  all  profit¬ 
able  returns  depended,  and  cultivation  must  not  be 
neglected.  I  have  found  that  horse  manure  is  the 
most  suitable  for  heavy  soil,  cow  manure  for  light 
soil,  the  use  of  these  two  varying  according  as  the 
soil  varies;  I  also  believe  there  is  a  great  future  for 
artificial  fertilizers.  The  tangible  results  of  the  last 
three  years  of  my  gardening  operations,  as  shown  by 
my  books,  which  have  been  carefully  kept,  are  not 
specially  wonderful,  and  yet  they  are  of  value  as  re¬ 
lating  to  so  small  a  plot  of  ground— a  quarter  of  an 
acre.  These  figures  also  do  not  include  anything  that 
was  used  by  ourselves  or  given  away,  but  solely  what 
was  sold. 
In  1889  the  receipts  of  the  garden  were  $140.63;  the 
expenses,  $31.33,  leaving  a  profit  of  $109.30.  The  re¬ 
ceipts  for  1890  were  $86.93;  the  expenses,  $25.17;  profit, 
$61.76.  The  receipts  for  1891  were  $144.79;  the  expenses, 
$36.79;  profit.  $108.  In  this  statement  I  have  not 
counted  my  own  or  family’s  labor  in  the  garden,  and, 
in  my  ignorance,  1  have  made  foolish  expenditures. 
Garden  Gossip. 
Ha ijishes. —Too  many  farmers  underrate  the  value 
of  radishes  in  the  home  garden,  and  so  fail  to  pro¬ 
vide  a  continuous  supply.  We  do  not  rate  their  nutri¬ 
tive  value  very  highly ;  it  is  more  from  the  aesthetic 
view  that  they  become  impprtant.  There  is  much 
more  in  the  appearance  of  a  table  than  the  hard¬ 
working  farmer  is  apt  to  think.  It  may  never  have 
occurred  to  him,  but  it  is  true  that  the  appearance  of 
the  table  has  made  or  marred  the  pleasures  of  a  meal 
for  him  on  hundreds  of  occasions.  There  is  something 
peculiarly  appetizing  in  the  very  looks  of  a  nice  plate 
of  radishes— they  give  what  nothing  else  does  so  well 
at  their  first  appearance,  color  and  variety.  Their 
many-hued  and  delicate  shapes  are  most  inviting. 
Then  why  not  have  them  at  intervals  all  through  the 
season  ?  Asa  rule,  the  Long  Scarlet,  so  often  grown, 
is  among  the  poorest  and  least  attractive  in  appear¬ 
ance.  The  quickest  to  grow  are  the  little,  short- 
topped,  turnip-shaped,  scarlet,  pink  or  white  in  color. 
Almost  as  early  and  more  beautiful  to  look  at  are 
the  sorts  classified  as  French  Breakfast  Radishes, 
slightly  elongated  from  the  turnip  shape,  with  pink 
upper  half  and  whitish  root.  Then  there  are  others 
of  a  yellowish  exterior,  and  from  that  color  to  gray 
and  black.  It  is  such  a  very  little  work  to  make  five 
or  six  plantings  of  these,  that  we  often  wonder  why 
so  many  plant  but  once  in  the  season,  and  some  not 
at  all. 
Beets.— After  trying  most  of  the  recommended 
beets  for  table  use,  I  have  made  up  my  mind  that  the 
Bassano  is  the  best  of  all.  It  is  almost,  if  not  quite, 
as  early  as  any:  it  is  very  tender  and  delicious  in 
quality  and  perfectly  easy  to  grow.  Does  any  one 
know  of  a  better  beet?  By  the  way,  while  on  this 
subject,  in  the  interests  of  good  living,  I  want  to  pro¬ 
test  against  a  practice  which  prevails  on  too  many 
farms.  The  area  planted  to  beets  is  too  small.  There 
should  be  a  generous  space  allotted  to  them.  Then, 
as  soon  as  they  are  large  enough  for  “  greens,”  thin 
them  out  and  eat  them ;  but  don’t  wait  until  they  are 
large  before  you  begin  to  eat  the  beets  proper.  As 
soon  as  they  are  two  inches  in  diameter,  begin  pulling 
them  for  the  table,  and  be  sure  to  have  enough 
planted  so  that  you  will  not  feel  that  you  must  wait 
until  they  grow  bigger.  They  are  never  so  good  as 
when  they  are  small;  they  are  rather  poor  eating  in 
the  fall  when  full-grown.  Eat  them  when  they  are 
at  their  best  and  when  they  will  do  you  the  most 
good.  Never  mind  them  for  a  winter  crop;  there  are 
plenty  of  better  vegetables  for  that  season. 
Okra.— Okra  is  so  easily  grown  that  It  should  find 
a  place  in  every  home  garden.  It  will  grow  wherever 
a  hill  of  corn  will,  and  a  half  dozen  plants  will  yield 
quite  a  large  supply.  The  pods,  cut  when  young  and 
tender,  are  very  delightful  soup  vegetables,  being 
delicate  in  flavor  and  mucilaginous  in  character. 
They  are  also  excellent  stewed,  for  pickles,  or  as  a 
prominent  part  In  that  famous  Southern  dish  known 
as  gumbo.  Okra  will  continue  bearing  through  the 
season,  if  the  pods  are  kept  cut  and  not  allowed  to 
ripen.  gardener. 
Grape  Growing:  in  California. 
On  page  116  (February  20)  The  Rural  says  of  the 
Concord  Grape  “  Three  to  four  tons  per  acre  is  as 
much  as  any  vineyardist  who  knows  his  business  will 
try  to  produce.”  No  doubt  the  writer  means,  east  of 
the  Rocky  Mountains;  for  with  our  California  vine¬ 
yards,  that  would  be  considered  a  very  small  crop. 
We  never  thin  out  grapes.  Our  ranch  is  in  the  Santa 
Cruz  Mountains  15  miles  from  the  Pacific  Ocean  and 
at  an  altitude  of  1 ,450  feet.  A  gulch  cuts  the  eastern 
portion  of  one  of  our  vineyards  so  as  to  make  three 
pieces  as  follows  :  the  flrst  is  89x28J<6  yards  ;  the 
second  is  88x20  yards;  the  third  is  53x35  yards;  mak¬ 
ing  in  all  1  27-100  acre.  From  these  three  pieces  I 
took,  in  1899,  32,500  pounds  (=■  Ifij-f  tons)  of  Black  Mal- 
voisie  Grapes,  of  which  28,550  pounds  were  sold  to  a 
ocal  winery  and  the  rest  sent  by  rail  to  San  Fran¬ 
cisco,  where  they  were  accurately  weighed,  and  re¬ 
turns  made  for  above  mentioned  weights.  This  is  at 
the  rate  of  128-10  tons  per  acre.  The  Black  Malvoisle 
belongs  to  the  same  family  of  grapes  as  the  Black 
Hamburgh  and  the  Rose  of  Peru.  and.  to  my  taste,  is 
the  best  of  the  three.  Now,  if  we  could  only  get  a 
cent  per  pound  it  would  be  very  profitable  to  raise 
grapes;  but  I  got  only  $8  per  ton  (or  4-10  of  a  cent  per 
pound)  at  the  winery,  and  $15  per  ton  gross,  for  those 
sent  to  San  Francisco,  with  such  very  large  deductions 
for  freight,  drayage  and  commission,  and  return 
freight  on  vineyard  boxes,  that  the  total  gross  re¬ 
ceipts  amounted  to  but  a  trifle  over  $100  per  acre. 
That  same  autumn  I  dug  up  every  fourth  vine,  each 
way,  and  planted  almonds  In  the  places  thus  left 
vacant.  This  spring  I  will  put  French  prune  grafts 
into  the  almond  stocks  and  in  a  few  years  will  re¬ 
move  all  the  vines,  and  have  a  good  prune  orchard  in 
place  of  the  vineyard. 
The  same  year  (1890),  in  the  valley  below,  and  seven 
or  eight  miles  from  us,  I  heard  of  a  man,  who,  from 
10  acres,  sold  to  the  same  winery,  140  tons  of  the  same 
kind  of  grapes,  thus  beating  me  by  more  than  a  ton 
per  acre.  Both  of  these,  however,  were  exceptional 
crops.  Last  fall,  the  same  winery,  for  the  same  kind 
of  grapes,  gave  only  $7  per  ton.  We  prune  down  to  a 
crown,  making  our  vineyards  at  this  time  of  the  year 
look  as  though  they  were  filled  with  rows  of  old  dead 
stumps.  Many  persons  about  here  have  ceased  to 
plant  any  grapes  except  those  which  will  bear  trans¬ 
portation  East,  as  California  every  year  is  over¬ 
stocked  with  grapes.  The  most  profitable  kinds  we 
raise,  are  the  Tokay  and  the  Cornlchon,  both  of  which 
bear  transportation  quite  well.  G.  R.  b. 
Wmcn  Is  Correct  ?— Bailey’s  Sweet  (Downing) 
or  Bailey  Sweet  (Thomas)  is  described  by  the  two 
writers  above  alluded  to  in  substantially  the  same 
manner,  with  one  exception.  Downing  says  “  the 
stalk  is  short  and  rather  small.”  Thomas  says  “  the 
stalk  is  slender,  one  inch  long.”  Fine  specimens  of 
the  fruit  are  before  us,  but  the  stalk  is  very  short, 
not  over  three-eighths  of  an  inch  in  length.  Will  any 
of  our  readers  who  may  have  the  fruit  tell  us  if  it 
has,  with  them,  a  long  stem  as  per  Thomas,  or  short 
stem  as  per  Downing?  It  may  be  that  different  lo¬ 
cations  modify  this  feature  of  the  fruit,  though  such 
a  variation  is  not  common.

Will  it  pay  ?  is  naturally  the  flrst  question  that  pre¬

may  be  in  the  business  of  fruit-growing  for  our  health 
but  we  are  also  in  it  for  the  profit  that  may  be  made. 
Note  what  E.  Clark,  Osage  City,  Kan.,  says  :  “  1 
sprayed  my  orchard,  and  my  apples  are  clean  of 
worms.  Had  the  finest  crop  of  apples  that  I  ever 
had.  I  had  to  prop  the  trees,  but  still  the  limbs  broke 
on  lots  of  them.  My  crop  will  make  me  80  per  cent  of 
fine  apples,  clean  of  worms.  I  compared  my  Ben 
Davis  apples  with  my  neighbor's,  mine  being  a  little 
above  80  per  cent  clean,  while  his  were  90  per  cent 
wormy.  I  had  one  plum  tree,  Lombard,  around 
which  I  had  to  build  a  scaffold  to  hold  up  the  fruit 
It  had  at  least  five  bushels  of  fine  plums  on  it,  while 
my  neighbor’s  plums  all  rotted  and  fell  off.  I  would 
not  take  $100  for  my  sprayer,  and  do  without  it,  for  I 
have  gained  70  per  cent  over  last  year.” 
And  writes  Mr.  John  F.  Williams,  of  Lawrence, 
Douglas  Co.,  Kan.:  “I  sprayed  all  my-apple  trees — 
about  300.  They  are  eight  years  old.  Last  year  and 
the  year  before  they  bore,  but  not  so  heavily.  The 
fruit  was  mostly  large  and  smooth,  but  nearly  every 
apple  had  a  worm  in  it.  This  year  the  trees  are  very 
full,  the  apples  are  large,  smooth  and  nicely  colored, 
and  I  think  not  mo-e  than  one  in  25  has  a  worm  in  it. 
1  noticed  one  tree  of  Jonathans  (I  have  about  30  of 
them)  which  stood  near  the  fence  so  that  I  could 
spray  but  one  side  of  it,  the  apples  on  the  side  I  did 
not  spray  were  nearly  all  wormy.  Those  I  could  reach 
were  all  right.  I  sprayed  but  once,  just  as  the  bloom 
was  falling.  I  also  sprayed  my  plum  trees,  about  50 
Wild  Goose  and  Miner.  They  have  borne  a  very  large 
crop  of  plums,  the  nicest  in  our  market,  and  none 
wormy.  I  am  so  well  pleased  with  my  experience  in 
spraying  that  I  am  glad  to  have  an  opportunity  of 
telling  it.  It  pays.”
